release: update go.mod for v1.7.0

* Revert "fix(network): prime host neigh with gateway port MAC on centralised EIP attach"

This reverts commit f7446c69c6.

* fix(network): round-robin external pool cursor so a released IP is not reused instantly

The static external pool handed out the lowest free address and freed IPs
immediately on release, so a just-released EIP was reassigned within ~0.6s. A
recycled EIP front-end is unreachable from the same host: the kernel still
holds the prior owner's ARP binding (or a negative cache after the neigh
flush) and OVN does not answer the re-ARP in time, so the neighbour entry
settles to FAILED (EHOSTUNREACH). This surfaced as EKS TestEKS/KubectlGetNodes
failing in single-node CI once #315 routed kubectl through the cluster NLB's
external EIP. Dev never hit it — it uses DHCP-random addresses.

Add a persisted per-pool cursor: allocation resumes one past the last address
handed out and wraps at RangeEnd, so a freed IP is not reused until the cursor
cycles the whole range. Empty cursor (fresh pool / older KV record) starts at
RangeStart, preserving lowest-free order for the first cycle — backward
compatible, no migration.

* ci: drop e2e-eks from default e2e suites

EKS data-plane subtest (TestEKS/KubectlGetNodes) is a persistent flake on
single-node CI — a freshly-attached centralised EIP is intermittently
unreachable from the host (no route to host to the cluster endpoint), which
fails the whole E2E run and blocks unrelated suites. Remove e2e-eks from the
default SUITES so PR/push runs no longer gate on it. The e2e-eks target and
the workflow_dispatch suites input are unchanged, so EKS stays runnable on
demand and via make e2e-all.

-
-#### Image integrity verification (CMMC SI.L1-3.14.2)
-
-Catalog imports (`spx admin images import --name <name>`) verify the image
-against the catalog-declared SHA-256/SHA-512 digest before extraction. The sums
-file is fetched from the catalog `Checksum` URL over HTTPS only (cross-scheme
-redirects refused), and verification runs on both fresh downloads and cache
-hits so a poisoned cache is caught on the next import.
-
-On mismatch the import exits non-zero, the cached file is left on disk for
-inspection, and the printed guidance is `spx admin images import --name <name>
---force` to re-download.
-
-`--file` imports skip verification by design: operator-supplied media is
-outside Spinifex's trust boundary and the operator is responsible for
-integrity (e.g. `sha256sum` against a trusted upstream digest before import).
-The skip is recorded as an INFO `slog` event with `reason=local-file-import`
-so a CMMC assessor can audit the decision from journald.
-
-`--skip-verify` bypasses the checksum step for catalog imports. The command
-still downloads via the catalog URL but does not compare the image digest
-against the sums file. Intended for narrow cases such as debugging upstream
-mirror issues or running against a transiently-broken `latest/` path; the
-skip is logged at WARN with `reason=skip-verify-flag` and printed to stderr
-so operators and assessors see it. Prefer `--file` with an out-of-band
-verified image over `--skip-verify` whenever possible.
-
-**Limitation:** verification confirms the image matches the digest the mirror
-served. A mirror compromise that swaps both image and sums file is not
-detected; closing that gap requires GPG signature verification of the sums
-file, deferred to a later phase.
-
-#### `spx admin images remove` caveats
-
-Admin-imported AMIs (`ImageOwnerAlias = "system"`) live
-under the `ami-<id>/` S3 prefix and use a viperblock-internal snap checkpoint
-at `snap-ami-<id>/` — there is no `snap-<id>/metadata.json`. The AWS handlers
-(`DeregisterImage`, `DeleteSnapshot`) reject system owners with
-`UnauthorizedOperation`, which is the right behaviour for tenant API callers
-but leaves no AWS-flow path to reclaim space. `spx admin images remove` is
-the admin-trust-boundary counterpart that performs the dependency walk and
-hard-deletes the blocks directly against predastore.
-
-`CopyImage` of a system AMI is metadata-only: it writes a fresh
-`snap-<acct>/metadata.json` whose `VolumeID` points at `ami-<sys>` and a new
-`ami-<acct>/config.json` referencing that snap. Volumes launched from the
-copied AMI read transitively from `ami-<sys>/chunks/...`. The remove command
-walks this transitive set and refuses if anything references the target.
-
-**TOCTOU window:** between the safety scan and the `config.json` delete a
-concurrent `RunInstances` against the AMI could create a new dependent
-volume. The window is sub-second on a healthy cluster. The admin running
-this command is expected to know the fleet's operational state; if the race
-fires the result is a `vol-<id>` with deleted backing blocks, recovered by
-terminating the orphaned instance.
-
-**`--force` bypasses every safety check** (dependents, ownership, missing /
-corrupt `config.json`). Use only for salvage of orphaned blocks. Running it
-against a live system AMI corrupts every dependent volume on the next disk
-read.

-# Ansible Dev Lifecycle (parallel to bash scripts)
-
-Experimental Ansible-based lifecycle for a single-node Spinifex dev host.
-Lives alongside the existing `scripts/dev-*.sh` and `scripts/reset-dev-env.sh`;
-neither set is removed. Decide which to keep after parity testing.
-
-Plan: `docs/development/improvements/ansible-dev-lifecycle.md` (mulga top-level).
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Venv lives at sub-repo root (`spinifex/.venv/`) — one venv per sub-repo,
-shared by any future python tooling in spinifex. Bootstrap from `spinifex/`:
-
-```
-sudo apt install python3.13-venv
-python3 -m venv .venv
-source .venv/bin/activate
-pip install 'ansible>=9'
-ansible-galaxy collection install -r scripts/ansible/requirements.yml
-```
-
-Then `cd scripts/ansible` to run playbooks — `ansible.cfg` resolves the
-inventory and roles relative to CWD.
-
-## Playbooks
-
-| Playbook | Purpose | Bash parity |
-|---|---|---|
-| `playbooks/dev-preflight.yml` | Dependency + port check | `dev-setup.sh` §checks |
-| `playbooks/dev-teardown.yml` | Wipe state only (no reinstall) | `reset-dev-env.sh` §teardown |
-| `playbooks/dev-install.yml` | Build + install + init + smoketest on clean box | `dev-install.sh` |
-| `playbooks/dev-reset.yml` | Capture settings → teardown → build → install → init → smoketest | `reset-dev-env.sh` (full) |
-| `playbooks/dev-deploy.yml` | Rebuild + swap binaries/microvm artifacts + restart (no setup.sh, no smoketest) | `make deploy` |
-| `playbooks/dev-status.yml` | Read-only health snapshot (units, ports, OVN/OVS, gateway, counts, drift) | none |
-| `playbooks/dev-logs.yml` | Dump journald + `/var/log/spinifex/*` + status/networking/versions into a tarball | none |
-| `playbooks/dev-snapshot.yml` | Quiesce spinifex+OVN+OVS, tar state paths to a named bundle, restart | none |
-| `playbooks/dev-restore.yml` | Stop services, wipe + untar a named bundle, refresh CA, restart | none |
-| `playbooks/dev-version.yml` | Build-vs-install drift report (spx, plugin, microvm) + sub-repo HEADs | none |
-| `playbooks/dev-vpc.yml` | Idempotent dev VPC fixture (VPC + public subnet + IGW + default route); `-e dev_vpc_state=absent` tears down | partial overlap with `scripts/iac/examples/*` |
-
-Upcoming (not yet implemented):
-
-- `dev-mode-start.yml` / `dev-mode-stop.yml` — parity with `start-dev.sh` / `stop-dev.sh`
-  (lowest priority — deprecated bash scripts, CI-only callers).
-
-## Invocation
-
-```
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-preflight.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-teardown.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-install.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-reset.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-deploy.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-status.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-logs.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-snapshot.yml -e snapshot_name=before-merge
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-restore.yml  -e snapshot_name=before-merge
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-version.yml
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-vpc.yml
-```
-
-Or via `make` (from `spinifex/`):
-
-```
-make ansible-dev-preflight
-make ansible-dev-teardown
-make ansible-dev-install
-make ansible-dev-reset
-make ansible-dev-deploy
-make ansible-dev-status
-make ansible-dev-logs
-make ansible-dev-snapshot ANSIBLE_EXTRA='-e snapshot_name=before-merge'
-make ansible-dev-restore  ANSIBLE_EXTRA='-e snapshot_name=before-merge'
-make ansible-dev-version
-make ansible-dev-vpc
-make ansible-dev-vpc ANSIBLE_EXTRA='-e dev_vpc_state=absent'
-```
-
-### When to use which
-
-- First-time / clean box → `ansible-dev-install`
-- Iterate on Go code, microvm initramfs, lb-agent → `ansible-dev-deploy` (fast)
-- Changed systemd units, helper scripts, logrotate, setup.sh → `ansible-dev-reset` (slow, full rebuild)
-- Need a clean slate without reinstall → `ansible-dev-teardown`
-- "Is my dev box healthy?" → `ansible-dev-status` (read-only, never mutates)
-- Filing a bug / capturing the state of a broken box → `ansible-dev-logs` (writes `/tmp/spinifex-logs-<host>-<ts>.tar.gz`; override `-e logs_since=10min` or `-e logs_include_dmesg=false`)
-- Checkpoint before a risky op (branch switch, viperblock surgery, ovn restart cycle) → `ansible-dev-snapshot ANSIBLE_EXTRA='-e snapshot_name=<name>'`; roll back via `ansible-dev-restore` instead of a full `dev-reset`. Bundles live in `/var/lib/spinifex-snapshots/<name>.tar.gz` (root-owned, survives `dev-teardown`).
-- "Do I need to `ansible-dev-deploy`?" → `ansible-dev-version` (drift-only check; faster than `dev-status`)
-- Want a known-good VPC/subnet for manual EC2 testing without writing tofu → `ansible-dev-vpc` (smoketest will then find and use it automatically). Tear down with `ANSIBLE_EXTRA='-e dev_vpc_state=absent'`.
-
-## Variable overrides
-
-Defaults in `vars/defaults.yml`. Override per run with `-e`:
-
-```
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-teardown.yml -e spinifex_wipe_ssh_keys=true
-```
-
-Useful overrides:
-
-| Var | Default | What it does |
-|---|---|---|
-| `spinifex_wipe_legacy_home` | `true` | Remove `$HOME/spinifex` (legacy dev-mode path) |
-| `spinifex_wipe_ssh_keys` | `false` | Remove `~/.ssh/spinifex-key*` |
-| `spinifex_wipe_aws_creds` | `false` | Remove spinifex profile from `~/.aws/credentials` |
-| `teardown_process_wait_seconds` | `30` | Grace period for processes to exit |
-| `spinifex_region` | `ap-southeast-2` | Region passed to `spx admin init` |
-| `spinifex_az` | `{{ region }}a` | AZ passed to `spx admin init` |
-| `spinifex_external_mode` | `pool` | External networking mode — `pool` or empty (NAT removed) |
-| `spinifex_external_no_external` | `false` | `true` → emit `--no-external` and skip external networking |
-| `spinifex_external_pool_start` | `""` | **Required** for `pool` mode — first IP of the static WAN pool |
-| `spinifex_external_pool_end` | `""` | **Required** for `pool` mode — last IP of the static WAN pool |
-| `spinifex_external_gateway` | `""` | WAN gateway (auto-detected when blank) |
-| `spinifex_external_prefix_len` | `""` | WAN prefix length (auto-detected when blank) |
-| `spinifex_external_gateway_ip` | `""` | OVN router external-IP override (`--gateway-ip`) |
-
-`pool` mode is mandatory unless you set `spinifex_external_no_external=true`.
-`spx admin init` rejects the run without a `--external-pool` range, so the
-init role asserts `spinifex_external_pool_start/_end` upfront. Either persist
-them in `vars/defaults.yml`, or pass them at invocation:
-
-Direct `ansible-playbook` (use `-e` here — this is ansible's flag):
-
-```
-ansible-playbook playbooks/dev-install.yml \
-  -e spinifex_external_pool_start=192.168.1.150 \
-  -e spinifex_external_pool_end=192.168.1.250
-```
-
-Via `make` (use `EXTRA_VARS=` — make eats its own `-e`):
-
-```
-make ansible-dev-install \
-  EXTRA_VARS="spinifex_external_pool_start=192.168.1.150 spinifex_external_pool_end=192.168.1.250"
-```
-
-`dev-reset.yml` automatically captures `region`, `az`, `external_mode`,
-pool range, gateway, prefix-len and `gateway_ip` from the existing
-`/etc/spinifex/spinifex.toml` before teardown and replays them into
-`init`. Legacy `external_mode = "nat"` is coerced to `"pool"` with a warn.
-Use `-e` to override.
-
-## Helper scripts
-
-`scripts/aws-as-spinifex.sh` and `scripts/spx-as-spinifex.sh` wrap `aws`
-and `spx` invocations in `sg spinifex -c '...'` so they run with the
-`spinifex` supplementary group active. Both helpers preset
-`AWS_PROFILE=spinifex`. All AWS-calling tasks in the roles use these
-via `spinifex_aws_cli` / `spinifex_spx_cli` from `vars/defaults.yml`.
-
-Background: `/etc/spinifex/ca.pem` lives under `drwxr-x--- root:spinifex`,
-so the AWS CLI needs `spinifex` group membership to read the CA bundle.
-Ansible's `become_user` is a no-op when the target user equals the
-calling user (no `sudo -u` invoked → no `initgroups(3)` → supplementary
-groups inherited from the operator's shell). On a fresh login the
-operator's shell would have `spinifex` (added by `setup.sh`); on shells
-that predate the group add it does not. The helpers sidestep this
-entirely.
-
-## Leak catalog
-
-`roles/teardown/README.md` tracks every known state source. When teardown
-misses something, add it there and in `roles/teardown/tasks/main.yml`.
-
-## Multi-node cluster bootstrap
-
-`playbooks/cluster-bootstrap.yml` provisions a 2+ node Spinifex cluster
-across a long-running tofu env (`env1`, `env2`, `bryn`, etc). Inventory
-is generated dynamically from `scripts/tofu-cluster/envs/<env>.tfvars`
-via `inventory/tofu.py` — first node in `nodes = [...]` is the init host,
-the rest are joins.
-
-```bash
-make ansible-cluster-bootstrap ENV=env1 POOL=192.168.1.150-192.168.1.159
-```
-
-`POOL` is optional; omit for DHCP fallback. Equivalent without make:
-
-```bash
-cd scripts/ansible
-CLUSTER_ENV=env1 ansible-playbook -i inventory/tofu.py \
-    playbooks/cluster-bootstrap.yml \
-    -e cluster_env=env1 \
-    -e cluster_external_pool=192.168.1.150-192.168.1.159
-```
-
-Plays sequence:
-
-1. **runner (localhost)** — `build` role produces `/tmp/spinifex-local.tar.gz`.
-2. **all env hosts (parallel)** — copies tarball, stops any dev-layout
-   services (`~/spinifex/`), runs `preflight` + `install` roles. `setup.sh`
-   creates `/etc/spinifex`, the `spinifex` user/group, systemd units, and
-   installs `/usr/local/bin/spx`.
-3. **init host only** — `cluster-init` role runs `spx admin init` in the
-   background, waits for the formation server, captures the join token.
-   CA is then copied into `/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/spinifex-ca.crt`
-   **before** `spinifex.target` starts (required — predastore enforces
-   strict TLS verify against the system trust store).
-4. **join hosts (parallel)** — `cluster-join` role runs `spx admin join`
-   against the formation server, then installs CA, then starts
-   `spinifex.target`.
-5. **all hosts** — polls `https://<ip>:4432/health` until `awsgw=ok`.
-6. **init host only** — `cluster-post` role imports the SSH key + Ubuntu
-   AMI (both idempotent: skip if already present).
-
-Re-running the playbook against an already-bootstrapped env is safe —
-`setup.sh`, `spx admin init --force`, CA copy, key/AMI import are all
-idempotent.
-
-### Migration from `bootstrap.sh`
-
-`scripts/tofu-cluster/bootstrap.sh` ran services under `~/spinifex/` as
-`tf-user` via `start-dev.sh` with no systemd supervision, and installed
-the cluster CA *after* services started — predastore would crash with
-`x509: certificate signed by unknown authority` on every first boot.
-`cluster-bootstrap.yml` replaces that flow with production-layout
-(`/etc/spinifex/` + systemd) and correct CA-before-services ordering.
-The first run on an env previously bootstrapped by `bootstrap.sh` will
-stop the dev-layout services, install the prod layout, and re-init the
-cluster from scratch via `spx admin init --force`.
-
-`bootstrap.sh` stays in-tree for CI and pseudo-multinode envs.

-# teardown — Leak Catalog
-
-Every task in this role corresponds to a known state source that survived a
-previous reset. When the operator reports "reset didn't clean X", add a new
-task and a new row here citing the symptom.
-
-## Initial catalog (from reset-dev-env.sh + reset-dev-env.md target)
-
-| State source | Cleaned by | Symptom if leaked |
-|---|---|---|
-| `spinifex.target` active | `systemctl stop` | Services keep running, file locks held |
-| `spinifex-*` units in failed state | `systemctl reset-failed 'spinifex-*'` | `systemctl status` shows red units, next start refuses |
-| Spinifex processes (spx, nats, predastore, etc.) | `pkill` pattern + wait loop | Stale listeners on 4222/8443/9999, start fails with "address in use" |
-| QEMU VMs | `pkill qemu-system-*` + wait loop | Zombie VMs hold tap interfaces and viperblock state |
-| `/etc/spinifex/` | `file: state=absent` | Stale TOML, stale CA, service users can't read fresh config |
-| `/var/lib/spinifex/` | `file: state=absent` | Stale WAL, stale volumes, viperblock mounts fail |
-| `/var/log/spinifex/` | `file: state=absent` | Logrotate confusion, permission drift after user changes |
-| `/run/spinifex/` | `file: state=absent` | Stale sockets, pidfiles from prior systemd run |
-| `$HOME/spinifex/` (legacy) | `file: state=absent` | Old dev-mode state shadowing new install |
-| OVS bridges (all) | `ovs-vsctl del-br` loop | `br-int` populated with stale ports → `ovn-controller` commit loop |
-| OVS `external_ids` | `ovs-vsctl clear Open_vSwitch .` | Stale chassis entries in SBDB |
-| `/var/lib/ovn/ovnnb_db.db`, `ovnsb_db.db` | `file: state=absent` | "OVNSB commit failed, force recompute" loop after reset |
-| `veth-wan-br` / `veth-wan-ovs` | `ip link delete` | Pair left dangling after setup-ovn.sh re-run |
-| `spx-ext-*` macvlan interfaces | `ip link delete` loop | Stale macvlan on WAN NIC, packet duplication |
-| Spinifex CA in trust store | remove + `update-ca-certificates` | TLS clients trust old CA, new cert fails verification |
-
-## Not cleaned by default (opt-in)
-
-| State source | Flag | Why opt-in |
-|---|---|---|
-| `~/.ssh/spinifex-key*` | `-e spinifex_wipe_ssh_keys=true` | Operator may want key to persist across resets |
-| `~/.aws/credentials` spinifex profile | `-e spinifex_wipe_aws_creds=true` | `spx admin init --force` rewrites this block anyway; wipe only on demand |
-
-## Known traps
-
-- **`pgrep -f` self-match.** A literal pattern that matches the pattern
-  string itself causes `pgrep -f` to match our own shell. Mitigation:
-  bracket trick (`[b]in/spx` matches `bin/spx` but not `[b]in/spx`).
-- **Log followers / ansible wrapper false positives.** `journalctl -f
-  _SYSTEMD_UNIT=spinifex-*` and ansible's own module shell matches the
-  service-name patterns in their cmdlines. Mitigation:
-  `spinifex_process_exclude` filter drops `journalctl|ansible|/bin/sh|pgrep|pkill|tail -[fF]`.
-- **SIGTERM survivors.** `spx service spinifex start` (and potentially
-  other service-supervisor processes) ignore or delay SIGTERM. Mitigation:
-  kill task escalates SIGTERM → SIGKILL after 5s.
-
-## Adding a new entry
-
-1. Add a task to `tasks/main.yml` in the right section (services / state-dirs /
-   ovn / ovs / netlink / trust / user-owned).
-2. Prefix the task `name:` with the state class (e.g. `netlink:`, `ovn:`).
-3. Add a row to the catalog above — symptom is what the operator described.
-4. If the leak class is general (e.g. "any interface matching spx-*"),
-   generalise the task; do not pattern-match on a single instance name.
